ĭespite the Necromorph outbreak, Marker 3A was unable to kill and absorb the bodies of its 'makers', either due to their absence on Aegis VII entirely or due to their escape from the planet. The Marker maintained this connection through a signal-amplifying pedestal, which allowed it to relay orders to the Hive Mind and thus the rest of the Necromorphs. On Aegis VII, the outbreak resulted in the formation of ' The Hive Mind' - a Nexus Necromorph form, which acted as a conduit between the Marker and the smaller creatures. Įventually, the Red Markers triggered Necromorph outbreaks on their respective planets, all in unison. It was also noted that the Markers on Aegis VII, Aspera and Kreemar demonstrated accurate triangulation and could communicate with each other to act as one regardless of light-years of distance. Upon activation, the science teams began to study the Marker signal in the hopes of understanding it, determining that the Markers were not actually creating the signal but were instead receiving it from somewhere in deep space and re-broadcasting it.

Eighty years after the Black Marker was first exhumed, under the Sovereign Colonies administration, the artifact was successfully reverse-engineered with at least three copies of it being created, which were sent to three remote planets: Kreemar, Aspera and Aegis VII the copy sent to Aegis VII was called Marker 3A.Īlthough the Red Markers were built by the scientists, their creation was more accurately described as 'growing' the artifacts using the replication data from the Black Marker and they remained just as mysterious as the original alien artifact. The three Red Markers shown during a SCAF briefing.Īfter the discovery of the Black Marker in 2214 on Earth, the government began researching the extent of its capabilities and structure in the hopes of using it to discover a source of renewable energy, thus solving humanity's resource crisis.
